I just did the samething. Hope BB installed, after one month of riding, I figured I check things out down there, cuz of lots of creek crossings. Bearings were devoid of Hope's blue grease, so I packed'em full. Too late...2-more months later, driveside was toast. In went some Enduro Zero's....Buttery goodness.

I actually couldn't beleive I could feel the difference. Enduro for all my bearings in the future...

Re: Installed enduro bearings in bb

I put a new bb in my Mukluk this summer. I was amazed at how much sand and grime was in the shell. I wondered how it all got there and settled on the big hole in the seatstay bridge. I wrapped it with electric tape.

That is a good point....I might put some tape over the hole in mine too, see if that helps....
